I'm not sure what happened to Jeffries, but this is really sad and disappointing. You do things because they are right and not easy. We need leaders in Congress that are Will ng to fight as hard as their constituents.

I've been thinking about the government shutdown and the ACA subsidies A LOT!

My fever dream is that the subsidies are approved for this round and next and then the Dems run on a Medicare option on the exchange and remove subsidies. Lowest cost option, but not zero cost, a choice.
